I don't know where you're getting this idea that the adventurers are male and the lovers are female. Some of the illustrations which suggest otherwise, and I was very careful to keep the text gender-neutral. You're reading something that's not there.

For what it's worth, I've encountered more than one woman who said the overall feel of the game was very male. They've even looked at the list of hero phrases and made the assertion that those are all male archetypes with no representation of female archetypes.

I'm willing to accept that, that says more about them than you or their game BUT it's a common enough reaction across different women that I'm genuinely curious about it.
